Is there an instructional teardown of the EVO 3D anywhere out there?
Sprint just told me that my phone has no insurance despite the fact that I've ALWAYS gotten insurance on my phones (they did this with my OG Evo when I first got it as well)
I dropped the phone and the corner of the fascia became separated from the main housing. Not a huge problem, the screen and all other hardware is 100%. The problem is, when I have it in my pocket, the separated area snags on everything and bends more and more as the days go on.
I took it to Sprint who "fixed" it for free despite my lack of insurance. Their "fix" was to apply some gasket tape to the affected area and hand it back to me. So now it's still separated, but there's some sticky gasket in the gap to attract all kinds of fun little particles.
I just want to order a fascia from Amazon or eBay and replace it my damned self.
Any guides?
Search amazon or google for the parts. When my screen broke I remember seeing the phones housing for sale too wich also included tools. As for instructions, there should be plenty on youtube. Hope it helps

My other shooter is an FNAR .308
This is the best video I could find. Post some pictures of the damage, If need be I can tear mine down(I've done it before) and take pics for you.
Actually just needed the bezel off. I thought the digitizer was part of that component. All's going well now:

I have been checking some online-shops (inc. ebay) in the search of the keypad(plastic thingie, without circuits) with a wheel but with no luck - they are not sold separately from housing, nor many housings are sold without them.
Can anyone give me a clue if I can find that piece somewhere?
It seems there is a thin metalic layer. This one is very fragile: on my phone, this layer begins to peel off. Does anyone know how to change it?

that same **** happens to me, but no that serious, only the little "line" that its in the red and green icons. I guess that your using your fingernails, right?
Nope. But when cleaning my screen, I put a little bit of water on it, then rub it with a tissue. I think the tissue gets caught on the small holes and tear off the metallic layer... One of my colleague has the same problem.
Once it has begun, you cannot stop the layer unsticking.
Uh! need!!
Yes I me too..
please help... broken idem.-
Mine is even worse not even the metal layer has been scratched off but the keypad is also cracked in the middle and the scroll-wheel does not work
This keypad is really a crap. And the phone surface is not guaranteed by HTC (of course)!
I will receive an HD 2 in a few days. My operator could rebuy my Polaris for 18 € (for recycling it)
to wagner51
dude if you're gonna sell it that cheap, let me know. i'll give you an alright price for it with postage etc
same problem
I am facing the same problem: the metallic-coated front panel is scratchy, and just last week it was broken from the upper middle section. If anyone could give advice on how to fix/replace it, it would be most appreciated.
Hello,
This is my first post ever, ever. Got my gTab and went to work. This is what I have done in the last two days. Bought some 800 grit sandpaper and got rid of the horrible logos on the back, remove the bar code sticker before doing this. Rub in circular motions. There will be no deep scratches and get rid of the scratches you may already have. Next I bought some contact paper ( the kind you would line your kitchen drawers with ) I decided on clear. Cut and applied with a plastic spreader I had. The end result in pretty nice. No more logos and the sanded paper provides pores for the contact paper to stick to better, also resulted in a nice pattern and added grip.
Next on the list is buying a small aluminum gun case with foam. I looking for ones on amazon right now, with a hinge. Buying this to protect the tab and to prop up for viewing when on the train.
This should work nicely:
can't post links so: amazon.com -> aluminum gun case -> should be the first on that comes up by ADG sports.
Post means nothing without pics
I didn't go to that hassle, I just bought the carbon fiber vinyl and stuck it to the back covering up the logo and all, idea taken from one of the other posts from a month ago.

pics of the work
Here are a couple pics of the work that has been done. Also, was bored today and made a stand -- my style is more of cheap/functional than anything else. Just thought I would post it for the others like me. This project in total cost me about 3.50.
i just got this phone used in immaculate condition just a few days ago.
i was browsing through its internet and i was mesmerized by how beautiful the screen was.
i didn't realize that time has passed by so fast that i am already late at school.
realizing i have to get in class on time. i am in a hurry--put the phone in my pocket and hop in my car.
i heard a crashing--shattering noise.
i realize something has gone missing, and something went horribly wrong.
i looked at the floor with a horror on my face. as the reality kicks in--with a sigh of disbelief, the phone meets the floor... :crying:

how can i fix and where to get the parts?
Whoops, that sucks. Try this thread.

Ouch. This is why spending the extra $4 on a case from ebay is recommended. After dropping so many phones, I don't take the chance anymore. Also if you decide to sell it, it will look as good as the day you bought it. It sends chills down my spine thinking of putting a naked phone in my pocket.
Yeah, I always have a case on. I used to use tpu cases, I've come to like my otterbox commuter case. Sorry to the OP for sure though.
Case is good idea, along with insurance from carrier ..

I have never used a case in my life. I have a little dent on the bottom rear cover. I have dropped it dozens of times, it just never fell face down onto a point. I must have a horseshoe up my a** I dunno, lol. The build quality seems the same as the original EVO, atleast from my mishaps.
Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.
can't u just take it to a fixer it's the safest way if ur nervous

Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).
Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.
Very unfortunate, the main screen of my brand new Oppo Find N is already broken. I haven't dropped it or covered it with dust or sand, just had it in my pocket for 5 days. When I opened it today there was this white line. With the finger i felt a piece of dust beneath the screen - the hinge seems not very safe against dust from the pocket. It reminds me of the first Galaxy Fold which was very sensitive. Very unfortunate. I hope no one else has a similiar issue, I'll send it back for warranty coverage...

Wooooow
Thats a bit concerning…
That is very concerning for sure. I spent a lot of money for the phone and question the type of warranty I will get from the seller I purchased from. I had not even thought about this outcome before and has me very concerned for sure.
Wooh this is not good... Hope you can get some help with the seller or through de warranty....
Cheers
Did you resolve the issue via seller or source a repair (presumably screen replacement?) - I'm looking at a phone with a similar issue - did it need to go back to china to be repaired & did that happen okay?
I'd be interested in your outcome
OP no longer posts in XDA forums hence no matter whether his phone was repaired or not, it seems he moved to iOS.
Device was replaced.
where did you get your device replaced? I have the exact same thing happened to my phone!
Same question. I have a black dot (diameter 0,4 cm ) on the unfolded screen
